Kinda told you so...

but China never had an EPA......?

Also getting your news off FB without checking out the source was the entire problem with fake news on FB.

You noticed I listed other news sources.

 

[DavidFirth]

You have some facts to back up that opinion?

Plenty have already been presented in this thread in case you missed them.

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Here let me quote myself since it appears you cannot read.

Is being needlessly offensive your first response all the time?

Are they the same places you got your definitions of "illegal" vs. "banned" from?

 

[jonathan180iq]

Does the irresponsibility of other nations detract from our necessity to do whatever we can to combat the issue?

 

[Jeremiahcp]

You noticed I listed other news sources.

Yes, you did, but it occurred to me that you also just accepted a "news" source off FB without considering where that news was coming from, then you posted that same source here. That is exactly how fake news spreads.

Also, once again, the fact that some of the story itself can be collaborate in other news sources, doesn't change the fact that very often the washingtiontimes.com makes some very dubious claims.

This is called "poisoning the well".

Again I ask, can you point to any SPECIFIC factual inaccuracies in the article?

Paris deal failing? Global emissions up 2% despite U.S. drop; Chinese pollution skyrockets

Non-binding means non-binding...

Can you provide a confirming source for this story? I've looked, but I can't find anything. And, the Washington Times is the conservative version of the New York Times, so I don't trust anything they claim without verification.

I didn't think so but I thought I'd ask.

Not all the time, but very often.

 

[Jeremiahcp]

"Climate change" is a crock. Trump is right to ignore it.

And I suppose the world was also created 6000 years ago and is flat.

 

[DavidFirth]

And I suppose the world was also created in 6000 years and is flat.

That's your problem. You base all your beliefs on what you suppose.

 

[DavidFirth]

I didn't think so but I thought I'd ask.

Oh. Well, then you must have missed them. Read the thread again.

 

[Jeremiahcp]

That's your problem. You base all your beliefs on what you suppose.

A point that I am very proud of. Your problem is that you are doing the something but don't realize it.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I mean we all get that this president doesn't give a squat about climate change, right? So basically what is happening is nothing, except for the fact we are moving closer to an uninhabitable planet and the Republicans are doing nothing about it. Great they pulled out of the Paris Agreement, and then did nothing, nothing at all. Do people not realize that if we screw Earth over we have no where else to go?

Just think, no more humans anymore to muck up the universe!

 

[DavidFirth]

A point that I am very proud of. Your problem is that you are doing the something but don't realize it.

Actually, the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.

 

[Revoltingest]

OK Ok you got me, you know what I mean by the fall of the planet, I really mean human devestation. Yeah we will likely survive after said devestation. Should we avoid devestation by any means necessary, absolutely.

Coastal cities will be devastated...except for the ones who go all Netherlands.
So it's not the planet which will be devastated....it has many natural settings,
as history shows us. But it's about human drama....there will be massive
relocations & perhaps even another excuse for war.
All worth avoiding though, eh.

 

[Revoltingest]

I like that.

My thought is don't mess with biology, the urge to procreate is too powerful to those that don't understand it. And there is so much propaganda supporting the benefits of creating a family for the so called intelligent and survival for the less.

Population control is something which people will
definitely face, & hoo boy.....will the arguing be vicious.

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

The planet will survive just fine...albeit with higher sea levels.
This points out a problem with selling GW to non-believers.
Histrionic claims like "Killing the planet!" are wrong & easy to debunk.
This makes GW denial easier because they can point to bad science...or really, non-scientific claims.

Tis best to stick to defendable predictions....
- Rising sea levels mean flooded coastal cities, species loss, livable land loss.
(Think of the penguins!)
- Climate changes (& rising sea levels) mean massive population relocations. Oh, boy....more refugee problems.
- Warmer climes mean increased tropical diseases.
Humanity can survive all these challenges.
But should we avoid them? That's the real question.
And the 500# gorilla which few discuss is population control.
This drives AGW, & portends a miserable crowded life...like living in NYC.

NYC will be under water.....
